Any other Soleri pilgrims out there? I spent some time reading about his work when I was in architecture school. Being enthused about mud brick construction at that time (which was dominated by non-architects trying to be architects), I was captivated by the total concept of Arcosanti. Now I can't barely remember the details.
Any news on current status? Won't that be a 'fun' preservation challenge - because it is more than simply the structures that need preservation ... how do you maintain the entire rationale for the community?
